No! Is it bad?

Blame the horse, he has horsey ADD.

For the first half he was shaking his head around like crazy and being insolent and bratty, and when I came to the middle so my riding instructor could tell me something he flipped! He wouldn't stop bucking when I tried to stop him and freaked out completely, to the point he eventually reared (I held on) and let out all sorts of gutteral sounds.

When I went through the cavaletties before the rearing ordeal in the middle he jumped all of them and let out a buck towards the end. I nearly fell off a countless number of times. So, I hopped off of him and we lunged him until he was a bit more tired out. Towards the end of the lesson he was a tad bit better and actually went over the cavaletties, jumped, and gave me a very nice canter. Dang horse.

But on the bright side of things, there's a really cute mare at my stables who is eight months pregnant and will be foaling in a couple of months.

No offense, equine, but you should have worked him through it and, keep in mind it isn't always the horse's fault. Tiring a horse out doesn't help next time you want to ride him. But, it's probably not your problem because he's not your horse, so never mind.

Sorry if that sounded rude. . .

I let out a huge gasp when he reared, because I've never been involved in one before, but that was pretty much it. I was a bit shaken, but I lived.

And I've been through bucks and freak-outs a bunch.

I can't wait.

Tiny foals are so cute! And Wilma (the mare) will be such a good mommy. She looks like a big potato on legs right now, though.

Yeah, I've had tiny bucks and rears - barely - but only one severe case.

Freak-outs seem to be abundant in the horse world.

Certainly here.

Oh my gosh...

I only had on serious incident, my TB reared, but I didn't fall off! Then there was the time Dezi started crow hopping.

That was scary, I've just recently gotten over it. Turns out, that was the cause of all of his bad behavior, I was scared. Who knew! It was all my fault all along.

You might want to look into paso's.

It varies. Any horse that is well mannered and a good ride for yourself is what you should really be looking out for, not the breed/color/gender. Although if you do find a Paso that is perfect, then great. :3

I would suggest a Paso Fino or Peruvian horse because they can do barrels, poles, English or Western, and they are gaited. But that's not all. Because they are Spanish horses and the way the Spanish horses are, they will find one rider and bond with them and they will protect that rider and they won't ride the same for any other person. That horse would belong to you and nobody else. Plus, they don't eat a lot.

were i am at i have not seen ANY in the ad place (in the paper)

Check craiglist for gaited horses, Pasos are really hard to find, so I would just shoot for a Walker or a Foxtrotter. And, of course, if you can't find a gaited horse, Quarter Horses aren't that bad.

They were talking about HCCLK riding bareback in her christmas parade.

Is she going too?

I really want to because Dezi ultimately despises saddles and ours doesn't even fit him right, but, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to. I'll be riding with a bunch of friends though who have been in lots of parades.

Does anybody know if a horse can still taste the copper in a bit if it is on the inside of the bit?
